Russia's Ministry of Defense has unveiled video evidence and flight data detailing an attempted drone attack on President Vladimir Putin's official residence earlier this week. The materials, presented during a Wednesday briefing, show debris from multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) intercepted across western Russia.
The released footage reveals scattered drone components in snowy terrain, including blackened metal fragments, wooden structural parts, and distinctive red wiring. A detailed flight map indicates the UAVs originated from Ukraine's Sumy and Chernihiv regions, traversing Russian airspace through Bryansk, Smolensk, and Tver regions before being neutralized.
Military analysts note the varied flight paths shown on the map, with some drones following direct eastward trajectories while others skirted the Russia-Belarus border. All were reportedly destroyed over Bryansk, Smolensk, or Novgorod regions before reaching their intended target.
The ministry confirmed the incident occurred during Sunday night into Monday morning local time, emphasizing that no casualties or property damage resulted from the attempted attack. This disclosure comes amid heightened regional tensions and increased focus on aerial defense systems across Eastern Europe.
